What I Wore Wednesday

February 12, 2014 by Crafty Teacher Lady +

Today I’m sharing a couple of my latest outfits for ‘What I Wore Wednesday’ and linking up over at the Pleated Poppy!  Lately I’ve been really into mixing pattern and adding pops of color to my work outfits! This first outfit is one of my favorites because it’s cute, affordable, and REALLY comfortable!

The mustard colored stretch skinny jeans were only $13 (now on sale for $9) from Walmart! I actually purchased them a couple months ago in three other colors because they fit my curvy body so well and are super affordable! The ruffled flower print top is from Target from a few years back. The royal colored cardi is from Banana Republic outlet last summer. The boots have become my ‘go to’ footwear of choice as I can run around all day at school and my feet don’t hurt…they’re from Kohls purchased in the fall.

The dress code for staff/teachers at my school isn’t super strict…we can
wear jeans, for instance, any day of the week as long as we still look
professional and put together. Here you can see I’ve paired dark denim jeans from American Eagle with a classic black blazer from Walmart (another totally awesome find from Wally World).  I added a striped black and white tee (can’t remember where it’s from) and a hot pink bauble necklace from Kohls for a pop of print and color!

I’ll be busting out some more hot pink this Friday for Valentine’s Day! Unless of course we don’t have school (again) due to an impending snow storm (again)! Alas, such is the life of a Mainer!

    The second look with the blazer, pop of red from the necklace and the sleek jeans is a great combo!

Had the nicest little getaway to Chincateague, VA Had the nicest little getaway to Chincateague, VA for a friend’s birthday and fell in love with the sweetest little barrier island town. We stayed @keywestcottages, shopped and dined at many locally owned places (highly recommend Island Creamery for the best homemade ice cream), and we even spotted some of the infamous wild ponies at Chincateague National Wildlife Refuge. On the drive home we did some antiquing and popped into Cape Charles (another darling little town) for lunch. I would love to take C back one day because it’s is a pretty family friend town as well. Such a sweet spot for a long weekend getaway!
Please meet the newest member of of family- Emmeli Please meet the newest member of of family- Emmeline, aka “Emmie”! We found her after visiting several local shelters and are happy to report that she is settling in well. She’s super sweet & affectionate…C is smitten! 🥰
Sometimes you just have to drop everything and giv Sometimes you just have to drop everything and give something a makeover, am I right?! 🤣☺️ C has a little craft table in our living room so I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect cabinet to corral all her art supplies and some toys she frequently plays with…I finally found the perfect piece for $50 on FB Marketplace! We (yes, C helped 🥰) painted it in a matte finish paint in the @sherwinwilliams color Monorail Silver, the perfect blue-gray shade I was hoping for. After it was dry, I took some sand paper to the edges to give it a more vintage feel and also swapped out the knob. Now, time to organize and fill those baskets! 🧺
We took our 4th annual trip to @storylandnh and as We took our 4th annual trip to @storylandnh and as we sat to take a break, this character came over to say hello. Our daughter has worked so hard in physical therapy to overcome some gross motor challenges related to balance and coordination, most notably learning to walk independently. With some encouragement, she stood up and walked over for a hug! This seemingly mundane moment for most families is SUCH a huge milestone for us- one that is a culmination of YEARS of hard work. Words cannot express how proud I am to be her mom and to have a front row seat to true determination, perseverance, and patience…today was an awesome day and makes me so hopeful for the future! 💗
My home state of Maine will forever have my heart- My home state of Maine will forever have my heart- I miss it every day but feel so lucky I get to come back home for much of the summer to fill my cup right up to the brim! I hope my daughter is building core memories of her time here each summer as well…video captured while on a July Fourth family cruise in front of Portland Head Light in Cape Elizabeth, Maine.
